The Indian ambassador said that there is great potential for Yen Bai's cinnamon products to gain a firm foothold in the Indian market, as they are popular and used a lot by Indian consumers.

The two sides exchanged views on investment and cooperation opportunities in the field of rare earth. Tuan expressed his hope that Indian businesses which have experiences in this field will send technology experts to help local firms in mining and processing rare earth minerals for export.
